Councilman Seeks Limit Of $10 Per Campaign Gift

Sal F. Albanese, a City Councilman and Democratic mayoral candidate, proposed a bill yesterday that would reduce the limit on single campaign contributions to $10 for candidates for city offices. The limit now ranges from $3,550 for Council candidates to $7,700 for mayoral candidates.

Mr. Albanese of Brooklyn introduced similar legislation more than a year ago, but it has languished because of a lack of support. His revised bill also appears to have little chance of becoming law because he has only 7 co-sponsors, a fraction of the 26 votes he would need to win Council approval.

Mr. Albanese criticized Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and other candidates who have raised millions of dollars from businesses that have a stake in decisions by city officials.
